Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages [Resumed] (15 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I move amendment No. 18: In page 14, line 24, to delete “or”. Part 3 makes provisions for An Garda to covertly track certain vehicles using automatic number plate recognition, ANPR. This is an intrusive surveillance measure, although I understand it is justified in certain circumstances. The Bill, as drafted, would allow gardaí of the rank of superintendent or higher...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Last night, I researched this issue and tried to read wider than the submissions that were provided in order to understand or, as a person with zero medical experience, try to understand some of the implications and complications associated with this. I am finding it difficult to come up with questions because I am more in a process of thinking...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I was not going to speak today but I want to preface the discussions that will take place tomorrow by saying that we need to be very careful and nuanced in how we engage in this conversation because in terms of what happened last week, it is not one holistic group that shows up in any arena. Senators have said that we need to say that we demand a safe city but we have to understand that...

Lynn Ruane: What is the Senator's problem with what I am saying?

Lynn Ruane: What is the problem?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: What is the Senator's problem with what I am saying?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I did not interrupt the Senator. What I am saying is that we do not end anything by further ostracising people. It is not how it works, even the people with whom we completely disagree. Our communities are turning on each other and eating each other up while we all sit here and have debates. We call for more police while they are the ones who are still suffering. People with nothing are...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank Senator Doherty for engaging with me on the amendments, especially the important one where we add the reference to class. It gives context to some of the scenarios which we have seen unfold. I start by expressing my solidarity, love and support to all affected by the attack at Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire last week. Those students will have that attack imprinted on their little...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank Dr. Collins for clarifying that should we end up with a system whereby we legislate for assisted dying that safeguards should be in place whereby somebody with a conscientious objection would be required to ensure whoever is seeking information has access to information. Perhaps other people would like to speak on this. We have reasonable people who will conscientiously object....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: My questions are mostly to Mr. Seymour and Dr. Donnelly. I will ask all of my questions at once. In his contribution, Mr. Seymour mentioned that people can choose assisted dying either by self-administration or administration by a medical practitioner. We have been having this discussion here as to whether it would be assisted dying or practitioner-led. This brings in the rights of...
